Rent A Home Santiago

... It only took about an hour, but of course, there was a group protesting and we couldn´t get the last 20 feet to the statue... (side note: every day since we have been here we have tried to get INTO the park, but protesters blocked the entrance -- apparently this time they just moved up the hill to the last bit today...!)<br><br>So Santiago was a nice relaxing stop in the middle, but we´re excited about flying up to La Paz, Bolivia and starting the next part of our trip!

We got our bearings today, even venturing onto the Met to go to the bus station to purchase our ticket to Mendoza, Argentina on Sunday. The train is fantastic, all underground so super fast.<br><br>Took a long walk to get to the fenicular which took us to the top of the hill to the monument of....... A ...

... we have been lucky enough to see some truly amazing sights and had many great experiences.<br><br>It hasn&#8217;t all been quite as expected though - with the exception of the huge and delicious steaks in Argentina, the food hasn&#8217;t been quite as good as we thought it might be. We were shocked to find that Latin America is love with the deep fat fryer &#8211; there are twice as many hamburger and hotdog cafes as there are at ...

... getting to know all the guaguas and finally getting into the routine of the house, I also am becoming more and more attached to one of them, "'juan''. He was raped at 11 months, in the hospital for 3 months after having surgery to repair all the damage, yet is the happiest, most independent little boy, now almost a year-and-a-half. What gets me the most isn't just his smile or laugh at the littlest thing, but ...

So only a week here but planning to cut in while working my self down Argentina, I totally messed up how i booked my flights, should have travelled overland. Any way this is what i have been up to: First we checked out Santiago, capital of Chile. It is cool place where you experience the laid back latin culture, and also the latin loving. There are couples all over and not shy about it, i went ...

... you can enjoy by sharing alcoholic charades. With stars twinkling above and the secadas turning up the volume below, the talk of house parties floated into the balmy evening air.<br><br>A conversation that had started with just an inbred handful of words at noon effectively finished at six in the morning, when I finally ran out of energy, slumped ten-stories up outside a strangers apartment. The other drunken party guests and I had ...

... et pas question de rigoler: une simple pomme peut vous coûter US$50 d'amende! J'ai pour ma part dû abandonner les noix et les raisins secs qui me restaient de ma randonnée à l'Aconcagua. Sur les 10 heures de voyage, on en passe bien 4 à la douane avant de se remettre en route au petit matin. Arrivé à la gare des bus de Santiago de Chili le dimanche matin, je trouve un billet pour Viña Del Mar et m'embarque de suite pour ma nouvelle destination.

... est avocate mais est aussi adepte de la religion Krishna. Elle tentera plus ou moins en vain de m'en expliquer les principes, ainsi que d'autres tels que la theorie des fluides.... N'empeche que sa bouffe vegetarienne est extra, ses amis super sympas et qu'elle m'emmene voir un spectacle de rue impressionnant: un spectacle espagnol dont je ne me souviens pas le nom mettant en scene une roue geante, un ange et une poupee articulee ...

... lot busier today, so dodging pedestrians was a problem, and there wasn´t much to see, either. Back to the hotel for a shower - no signs of life from Ben, Ha, &amp; Monica´s room (hereafter referred to as BH&amp;M), so I had breakfast on my own. It´s a good thing I wasn´t eating anything like eggs and bacon that required use of a knife and fork - otherwise I would´ve stabbed myself in the eye when one of the female employees walked into the ...

... here.<br><br>After lugging our bags up to the room I followed her into the office. I opened my wallet to pay the deposit and noticed that my bank card was missing! White panic shot through me; where the hell was it??<br><br>I soon realised that I must have left it in the ATM at the airport, so she kindly called the Santander ...
